Los dueños

Having visited Argentina several times and knowing about some of its great movies, I had looked forward to seeing The Owners (Los Dueños). Unfortunately, I found the movie incredibly dull and slow and for a country that is known for good looking people, I had to ask myself why was every cast member somewhere in a range from burnt out to below average to bad looking. The director clearly abused his privileges regardless of story. The knife scrapping across the toast, the drive backwards in the car, the melancholic faces, but so what? What did any of those directorial scenes add to the story. Nothing. Argentina can do much better than this film.
